Unsurprisingly, these embryos did not show an obvious phenotype until the morula stage.

It starts out as a single cell zygote and then divides several times to form a ball of cells called a morula.

In sponges and cnidarians the dividing eggs develop directly into a simple larva, rather like a morula with cilia.

It had been growing for four days and had become a morula, an advanced stage of growth that can indicate health and heartiness.

After cleavage, the dividing cells, or morula, becomes a hollow ball, or blastula, which develops a hole or pore at one end.

The repair process involved special cells called morula cells moving to the injury site and full repair was achieved after just a couple of weeks.

Only cells from an earlier stage of the embryo, known as the morula, are totipotent, able to become all tissues in the body and the extraembryonic placenta.

A morula (Latin "morus", mulberry) is an embryo at an early stage of embryonic development, consisting of cells (called blastomeres) in a solid ball contained within the zona pellucida.
Morula is a genus of sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Muricidae, the murex snails or rock snails.
